Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"You're saying she plagiarized others, but do you have any evidence?"

Emily gritted her teeth and handed over the evidence she drafted. Pearl narrowed her eyes. So, this was Emily's scheme.

"This design was taken from Anny's work. Anny's a student from a famous foreign university. This bumpkin plagiarized her work!" Anny was from a famous university while Pearl was a bumpkin, so everyone knew what the right choice was.

"Pearl is so audacious."

"It's fine if she can't come up with a proposal, but why did she plagiarize others?"

"Such a person has no right to stay in our company."

The crowd was discussing non-stop. Richard avoided their gazes and looked at Pearl. "Do you have anything to say in your defense?"Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

He inexplicably felt at ease as he looked at her. It was as if he was sure Pearl was not at fault. Still, he wanted to listen to her side of the story...

Pearl smiled and nodded. "Yes, I borrowed some of Anny's work. You're rather attentive."

Belleving victory was in her grasp, Emily began to speak recklessly, "Mister Richard, look at this bumpkin. She's ignorant and incompetent. She even stole someone else's work. Such a person doesn't deserve Richard frowned and waited for Pearl to speak.

"But what if...I'm Anny?"

Emily burst into a roar of laughter. "You're Anny? Pearl, stop making jokes. If you're Anny, I'll resign and leave right now. I'll even give my position to you!"

Anny was a young female genius who achieved a double major early. Why would she return to her homeland and condescend to be a mere employee of a company?

"You promise?" Pearl asked indifferently.

Emily was determined to win. She raised her chin and replied proudly, "Yes, I promise."

Pearl went up the

stage and took out her phone, connecting it to the screen. She then made a video call. A few seconds later, a kind-looking old foreign man appeared on the screen. It was Andrew Cox, a two- time Noble prize winner.

How did Pearl know such a person?

"Hello, Professor Andrew. I'm so sorry to disturb you," Pearl apologized as she smiled.

Andrew did not seem upset in the slightest and instead smiled broadly when he saw Pearl. "Anny, it's been a long time since you last contacted me. I'm very happy you called. I don't even feel like working on n "Professor Andrew, you have to work hard on your experiments."

They chatted happily in the Ealdasy language. The others kept quiet and did not dare to speak. All the employees of the company graduated from famous universities, so they

understood Pearl and Andrew's conversation. The hardest thing to understand was not Ealdasy, but how Pearl knew such a person. On top of that, they learned from Andrew that Pearl was Indeed Anny.

Emily's mood plummeted. She stared at the screen, then looked toward Pearl. She was having a mental breakdown. This was an utter defeat for her.

After hanging up the call, Pearl looked at Emily, who had turned as white as a sheet. She chuckled. "Emily, I was using my own creativity, so is it considered plagiarism? 

Emily was at a loss for words, while Richard was beyond shocked. As expected, she always brought him surprises.

"Emily, pick up your salary from the finance department before you leave tonight."

Richard could not stand to keep such arrogant people in his company, so he ended Emily's fate with a statement. After that farce ended, he offered Pearl a ride home.
